Is there any way to find every github project which:

  • is GPL licensed
  • has over one million lines of C++ code

I am imagining that the Github API was designed to automate such requests, but I am not sure at all.

In other words, is the GitHub API related to searching within all the existing github projects?

Another request might be to find every project in C or C++ having a single line containing fork (); with only spaces before and after that. This would approximate (ignoring those few who would code pid_p p = on one line and fork(); on the next) the quest for badly written programs which do not keep the result of fork (as they should)

PS. Google codesearch was in the past somehow useful for such things. It has vanished.

    Would the [github tag on WebApps.SE](http://webapps.stackexchange.com/search?q=%5Bgithub%5D+api+is%3Aq) more closely be able to answer the question? –  Jan 29 '16 at 14:03
